John,

I wanted you to hear it directly from me: I’m going to be challenging Kyrsten Sinema and running for the United States Senate in Arizona.

If that’s all you need to hear, I am asking you to become a Founding Donor to our historic campaign. The amount of the donation is not nearly as important as the number of people contributing today. Use this link to split a donation between my campaign and MeidasTouch: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/mt-gallego

Here is the truth: 

The rich and the powerful don’t need more advocates in the Senate. It’s the people deciding between groceries and utilities who need help.

For too long, Sen. Sinema has used her position of power to help those who already have it all. She has stood in the way of raising the minimum wage, protecting voting rights, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and more.

Now, we can argue about different ways to do the job as a United States Senator, but at the core of it all, if you are more likely to be meeting and helping the powerful than the powerless, you are doing this job wrong.

I am sorry that politicians like Sen. Sinema have let you down. 

I am going to change that.

But in order to win this race against Sen. Sinema and whomever the Republicans nominate, it’s going to take a historic grassroots effort. From day one.

And that is why I am asking:

Can you please split a $15 contribution between my campaign and MeidasTouch to become a Founding Donor to my campaign for U.S. Senate today? It all adds up when we’re all chipping in, and that’s how we’ll win this race. Together.

Thank you,

Ruben Gallego
